Bob Barry’s Unearthed Interviews Podcast: Phyllis George

Today we have an absolute legend joining us on the podcast. She was a trailblazer, sports broadcaster, former Miss America and businesswoman extraordinaire. Phyllis George made history as one of the first women in sports broadcasting, became the First Lady of Kentucky through her marriage to Governor John Brown. And if that weren’t impressive enough, she’s also the proud mother of businesswoman and CNN anchor Pamela Brown. When we interviewed her she had just become Miss America. She talks about that experience and promises to come to WOKY in person, which she did a short time later.
